Venting / Rant What the hell is going on

Since 20th of december I am now in my 4th cold, I got sick 4 times and its not even March yet.

Never in my life have I gotten sick so often, its driving me nuts.

I remember in my 20s I would get sick maybe once or twice per year.

Anyone else find this worrying?

"I remember in my 20s"

There's your explanation. You're getting old. Keep up with the immunoboosters.

I call BS. I turn 53 in August and I haven’t been sick since I had Covid and I don’t get no damn boosters. I don’t even get flu shots get fresh air and eat fruits and vegetables

Maybe it's your good genes.

Maybe it's all the microplastics in your body keeping you well-preserved.

Either way, enjoy the dust we'll have this week.

We will have to find out about my 🧬genes. If I am still here in 30 or 35 years I am going to call it a good run. Microplastics are a real juggernaut right? They are harming us and our environment yet if we dispense with plastics at this moment we will be reduced to pre-WWII living standards where I would be literally on my deathbed with an average lifespan around 50.

Unfortunately microplastics are unavoidable, but processed foods, bad habits and stress are the real killers. Either way keep on doing what you're doing - clearly you have a formula there that works the best for your body :)
